For I have known him, so that whatever he may command his sons and his house after him, even they may keep the way of Jehovah, to do righteousness and justice; to the intent that Jehovah may bring on Abraham that which He has spoken of him.
And Abraham started up early in the morning and saddled his ass, and he took two of his youths with him, and his son Isaac. And he split wood for a burnt offering, and rose up and went to the place which God had said to him.
And your seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and you shall spread to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south; and all the families of the earth shall be blessed in you and in your Seed.
and you will swear, As Jehovah lives, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in Him, and in Him they will glory.
But I commanded them this thing, saying, Obey My voice, and I will be to you for God, and you will be to Me for a people. Also, Walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, so that it may be well with you.
You are sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God made to our fathers, saying to Abraham, “And in your Seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” Gen. 22:18
But the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his Seed (it does not say, And to seeds, as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,” which is Christ). Gen. 3:15; 21:12; 22:18, Rom. 9:7; Heb. 11:18
So says Jehovah the God of Israel, I said indeed that your house and your father’s house should walk before Me until forever. But now, a statement of Jehovah, Be it far from Me! For those who honor Me I will honor, and those despising Me will be despised.
